PHILADELPHIA . (JTA) — The Philadelphia Chapter of the American Jewish Committee (AJC) July 21 hailed what it termed "a landmark agreement" between the Pennsylvania
■ Human Relations Commis¬ sion' and the Provident Mutual Life; Insurance Company, a major national insurance company with
' headquarters in Phila- ~ <le]phia, to broaden the in¬ volvement of Jews in the
, management of that company,
The agreement — under which Provident Mutual will start an affirmative action program — Stemmed from a complaint, brought^ by the AJC chapter together-with the Jewish' Employment
s Vocational Service of Phila* delphia, charging that the - insurance company had dis¬ criminated against Jews in its hiring and promotion poli¬ cies, especially at executive levels., , \
- ^ ,-The j '-Human-- .'Relations -
—Commission found probable cause in the complaint,- and
" the' insurance" company, without admitting any violation of .the State Human Relations Act, agreed to initiate an affirmative action program to remedy the
situation.
Michael Steinig, chairman of the AJC chapter's executive advisory program, "in , a letter-r' to Joseph X. - Yaffe, chair¬ person of the, Commission, stated: "To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of its kind in the country where a Human Relations Commission has found a pattern of exclusion .with regard to Jews existing in a company and entered into an
affirmative action program with that company to remedy the situation. . "It is our hope, and indeed v expectation, that the process worked out in this instance can serve as a precedent in the battle against 'executive suite' discrimination" that has plagued the Jewish' community for decades." ^ Steinig,- in a separate statement,,pointed out that, as part of the agreement -with the Human Relations
(Copyright, 1976, JTA Inc.) WASHINGTON (JTA) - B'nai B'rith has charged President Luis Echeverria of Mexico with reneging on "unequivocal assurances'.' that his government would abstain "from supporting anti-Jewish actions.
In a letter sent July l!Uo Echeverria and madepublic July 22, David M. Blumberg,
"abrupt cancellations"- of Mexican participation in international chess and table-tennis tournaments scheduled for Israel, Blum¬ berg said: "Those actions have revived the suspicions and uncertainties" ' which Echeverria's assurances were intended to allay. , Following the May 24 meeting, " Blumberg J
circumstances," he must "regretfully decline" an Invitation Echeverria had extended to him to attend the President's address to the Mexican Congress and the inauguration of the Third World academic center in September.

WASHINGTON (JTA) - The AFL-CIO Executive Council at its quarterly meeting July 19 adopted twin statements on the subjects of terrorism and the Arab
. boycott, >it was announced by Jacob Sheinkman, president
-of the JewishLabor Commit-. tee.*-' >. - ' '" ;
j Despite their preoccu¬ pation with the endorsement of a candidate for President, the Executive Council "con¬ gratulated the people of Israel for their bold initiative and commended the people of Kenya."
The statement also noted that "Israel's courageous action demonstrates the only effective method of dealing with terrorists and putting an end lo their bloody plots. The rescue is. a -clear example of how the free world must henceforth deal with hijackers ,and political blackmailers." ,The Council's statement called upon "the nations of the free World" to "work together for effective methods of dealing 'with terrorism, including strong political and economic sanc¬
tions against any govern¬ ment which harbors, encourages .or supports terrorists."
In another statement, the Executive Council declared that the Arab boycott "raises issues,which tJO.Jfar
-beyond-those of Israel's rights as a free nation. By imposing secondary and tertiary boycotts, the Arabs
' have put at issue America's willingness to defend its own principles and sovereignty." In demanding an end to cooperation with the Arab boycott on American' soil,

- media specifically directed toward the Jewish community, and conduct" management seminars for officers and supervisors once a year emphasizing its. equal - employment
• opportunity policy with regard to Jewish persons." The AJC expressed some
- reservation with regard to a portion of the agreement in which the company stated it would "make every good faith effort''* through its hiring, transfer, retention' and/or promotion' procedures to achieve at
•least1 a 5.3 percent rep¬ resentation of Jewish persons in its total officer work force, and nine percent Jewish persons in several of its top job classifications by .
.June, 1979.
Steinig-stressedthe AJC's concern-that "in the process of broadening the involve¬ ment of Jews in the manage¬ ment of the company,- the percentage figures not become quotas. The American Jewish:
Committee is not opposed lo goals and timetables except when they lead to quotas."
B'nai B'rith's president, told f announced that B'nai B'rith
the Mexican leader that the '.'continuity" of recent,ahti- Israel actions "cannot be reconciled" with Eche¬ verria's assertions of "Mexico's concord and spirit of cooperative enterprise with Israel" that were made personally to Blumberg when they met May 24 in Mexico City. " -

would resume tours to Mexico in its group travel programs. Earlier, the B'nai B'rith ban had continued after other Jewish groups had re-instituted Mexican tours.
Mexico's "pattern" of continued anti-Israel decisions cannot be "ade¬ quately explained" to B'nai B'rith's constituency. All "will serve the friendship we have for the people of Mexico and our regard for Mexico's democratic traditions,'* Blumberg advised Echeverria. _..
